Oh please. The volume can't make any real difference to the price,
they're hardly installing manually are they? I'd assume they're using
kickstart or some HD imaging tool. So, the cost to them is minimal
and you're not paying for the windows licence - how in the name of god
can they justify charging you more for a linux machine than for a
windows one?
Buy the bare machine and inform them that you would have bought linux
but they're charging too much for it.
